A collection of odd questions about a i386 machine...

I have finally gotten my GRiD 1530 laptop going!!! WHOO HOO!!! But, I have several questions... The processor problem... It's a i386... I'd like to get one of those 386 to 486 upgrade processors but, they seem to not be available. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to rig a 486 in there? The Hard drive oddity... Part I The laptop came with a Conner 3104 (100Mb) hard drive... I put this drive into my pentium desk top and used the segate software to verify the disk, then I formatted & did a scandisk, and loaded DOS. When it went to write COMMAND.COM and a few final files, it gave me a bunch of write errors... I took the same drive and put it in my old 486 desk top (with a NON-EIDE) controller and everything loaded fine!!!! Why did this happen??? Part II I have a 420Mb Conner drive that mates to the laptop's interface card. I loaded DOS and what not on it and then used the GRiD setup program to set the bios to the correct parameters and it still gives me a disc boot error! Why won't this drive work? ---------------------------------------- Tired of Micro$oft???
